Good Compression SocksAll compression socks are expensive, these are also quite expensive even for compression stockings, but I wanted to give the silver footing a try.
Overall the fit is good. They stretch a little taller than most socks when pulling up, so you can't quite pull them up as tight if you like that feel. They do stay in place pretty well. So far after two weeks of use, I have produced no tears or runs in the material. We will see how well they hold up. Previous stockings developed runs in the material quite quickly. I am hoping this brand will last longer.
The silver footing does seem to keep any foot odor down. I try to go a couple days before washing them as not to over wash the stockings. Other brands tended to smell quicker than these, so this seems to be a good design.
However, if you wear dress shoes and you don't wear a second pair of socks over the compression socks, you will notice a bit more moisture buildup and that general humid feeling in the shoe. I find that when I wear a second pair of thin socks over the fittings (also to color match to my outfit), it adds to the comfort and keeps the moisture level down. Probably due to less slippage of the material of the stocking against a dress shoe.
I would recommend and probably buy again. Just be aware before you go buy a bunch of different colors that you may end up wearing a second sock over them anyway, so the color choice won't matter.
